Abstract
The paper discusses the history of Novell NetWare and looks at the path-breaking S-Net, the NetWare 286 and 386 and NetWare 4.x. The paper shows how an industry leader could fail because it was unprepared to make the sort of changes it needed to make in order to stay abreast of competitors. The paper emphasizes that although NetWare 2, NetWare 3 and NetWare 4 were all cutting-edge products, they were also products that featured modularity and reliability shortcomings the company never adequately addressed.
From the Paper
"The very first Novell NOS product was the S-Net. S-Net was a proprietary NOS that relied on a star-based network characterized by a specialized computer running the S-Net OS on a Motorola 68000. This arrangement was not exactly cutting-edge, and Novell subsequently took steps to improve its fledgling product line by introducing the NetWare 86. NetWare 86 provided a multi-tasking and centralized file, print and application server that ran on the old IBM PC XT with an Intel 8086 Processor providing; it was during the 1980s a custom-designed operating system and that remains the case today for its successors. Unfortunately, the NetWare package was not, is not, capable of serving as a workstation operating system; it can only function as a dedicated server operating system."

Abstract
This paper examines Novell, the world?s largest networking software company and the fifth largest software corporation, even after being trimmed down by 50% in the mid 90?s. In particular, it looks at how the company faces some problems in restructuring itself as a financially and economically viable organization and attempts to demonstrate how this is because of some imperfections in the business model. It analyzes the business model, and by using the Japanese telecommunication company, NTTDoCoMo, as an example, makes recommendations for improvement.
From the Paper
"Novell, although in an exceptional position is still losing ground because of some imperfections in their business model. A transformation is required if the company is to stay on the top. One important change as mentioned above is ?cultural transformation?. The culture prevalent in a company is the soul of that organization and it is not easy to alter, but adaptation to different environments and ideas, assimilating the good and discarding the bad is how a culture evolves into a better one. Therefore a few methods should be adopted which are essential to bringing about change in an organization?s environment. These include a few key practices which are crucial in bringing about a cultural transformation."

From the Paper
"Introduction
When mainframe and minicomputers provided the backbone of business computing, there were essentially networked environments in the sense that "dumb" terminals shared access to a single processor (the minicomputer or mainframe), printer (or printers) and other peripheral devices. Files could be shared among users because they were stored on the same machine. Electrical and operational connections were available in common and shared applications, and implementation of new hardware, software and users was a simple task so long as a single vendor was used. With the proliferation of microcomputers in the business environment, information became distributed, located on the various hard drives attached to personal computers in an office, and difficult for other users to access. Today, network systems which connect disparate .."

Abstract
This paper will argue that the key point of similarity between the two forms of detective fiction is the adherence of the authors to a formula. It will be seen that while the adult novels are undeniably more complex than the children's works, both generally present their audiences with the comforting familiarity of formulaic plot and repeating characters.

Perspective and Stereotype in Western Detective Novels, 2001.
The writer examines novels by Agatha Christie and Joseph Conrad, and discusses characters and scenes in light of prejudices the authors may have held, bringing as evidence Chinese (non-Western) detective novels.

Abstract
We can also see the kind of xenophobic stereotypes that Christie used when we compare her works to detective fiction taken from an entirely different cultural tradition: When we think about the detective novel, we are most likely to see in our mind?s eye Sherlock Holmes?s deerstalker cap or hear the Belgian accents of Hercule Poirot. The genre of detective fiction ? with its traditional elements of the seemingly perfect crime, the wrongly accused suspect at whom circumstantial evidence points (in many cases, the bungling of the dim-witted police (in opposition to the cleverness of the private operator), the astonishing powers of observation and superior mind of the detective, and a startling and unexpected denouement (quite likely taking place in a parlor) in which the detective reveals how the identity of the culprit was ascertained ? seems a quintessentially Western concept.

Abstract
This paper examines these novels which depict the lives of Black Americans in the dominant white American society prior and after the legal abolishment of black slavery. Both novels discuss these social issues while discussing and narrating in closer detail the everyday lives of black Americans as they go through their lives in a new established society. The novels were written at slightly different time periods and the paper examines the differences in society during these times.
From the Paper
"These love stories also illustrate how the society and the people in it determine the fate and course of romantic love for the main characters. However, the novels start in a different pace: ?Contending Forces? starts with the abolishment of black slavery, then proceeds with life in a society that has its black Americans as the equals of white Americans, not as slaves of them. Meanwhile, ?Ambition? by Weston starts initially with the already abolished black slavery, and we are introduced to a new American society, wherein black Americans are now educated and lived as equals with the white Americans. Despite these differences in the narrative structure, both novels are great eye- openers that illustrate what American society is like after the abolishment of black slavery and what society is like with black Americans as part of the whole operation of running a functional society."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the two novels: Charles Dickens' "Dombey and Son" as a novel of metropolitan life, and George Eliot's "Middlemarch" as a novel of provincial life. The author chose these novels to offer the reader a view of England through two different eyes. The novels also convey how writers manage to get their themes and thoughts across to their readers in different ways.
From the Paper
"Dicken's novel "Dombey and Son" appeared in serial form in 1847 and 1848. It tells the story of Mr. Dombey, a proud, rich businessman who hopes to pass his prosperous company on to his son, Paul, but Paul dies as a child, and there is no one to carry on the business. Because he is so enamored of his company, and passing it on to his heir, he neglects his kind daughter Florence"

Social Novels, 2004.
A paper that links several novels through the theme of social awareness and change.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at examples of social novels and how the writers used these reflections as a method of critique and to suggest ways to change. The novels referred to in the paper include George Orwell?s "1984"; George Orwell?s "Animal Farm"; John Steinbeck?s "The Grapes of Wrath";and Joseph Heller?s "Catch-22". The paper concludes that the unifying thread in all these social novels is their reflection of reality.
From the Paper
"Joseph Heller?s novel has more in common with Orwell?s writings than with Steinbeck. Unlike Steinbeck, who strove for a hyper-realism in The Grapes of Wrath, Heller?s Catch-22 uses satire to chronicles the futility and ultimate dehumanization of war. While stationed in the fictional Mediterranean island of Pianosa, Air Force soldier John Yossarian participates in several brutal and dangerous operations, where his men die not for their country, but to obtain good aerial pictures of the exploding targets. Disgusted that his life is constantly in danger for nothing, Yossarian vows to survive this pointless war at all costs. He thus spends much of his time faking illness and devising ways to be sent home."

Nineteenth Century Novels, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines several novels written by famous 19th century authors and explains how these novels not only reflect that dependency and domination of women of that era, but also reflect the authors' attempts to bring this to the attention of their readers. The paper uses authors George Elliot and Mary Elizabeth Braddon as examples of feminist writers whose work focused on the inner desire of women to be free, both sexually and emotionally.
From the Paper
"Nineteenth century was a time of conventional domesticity for women and even though a fight for emancipation of women was on, gender roles were still defined by tradition. Women were regarded as the weaker sex and were dominated by men in all spheres of life. Nineteenth century novels thus portrayed women as the weaker, dependent sex but this was done not to reinforce the traditional gender roles but to challenge them and to create awareness among women regarding their emotional dependency on men. Even some feminist writers including George Eliot portrayed women as weak and fragile souls who looked up to men for emotional and financial support. Her main reason for doing this was to question the social norms that had turned women into such meek souls."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the idea of a 'journey' or 'quest' in the novels "As I Lay Dying" by William Faulkner and "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The author examines the different characters in both stories in order to show how the theme of a 'journey' or 'quest' runs through both of these novels.
From the Paper
"Their first obstacle in the journey is a flood-swollen river, which they cross after looking for alternatives. Their mules are drowned, Cash's leg is broken, and Addie's coffin is nearly swept downstream in the process. Jewel manages to hold on to the coffin out of sheer will. The ever-scheming Anse figures out a way to get some new mules, at the expense of Cash and Jewel. He trades Cash's eight dollars that he'd hoped to use to buy the phonograph, and Jewel's prized horse, for a new set of mules, and the Bundrens are on their way."

Endings in Novels, 2002.
Four different novels and the impact that their endings have on the work. A look at why the writer chose to end the novel in this specific way.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the novels "Little Doritt" by Charles Dickens, "MiddleMarch" by George Eliot, "Vanity Fair" by William Makepeace Thackeray and "Tess of the d'Urbervilles," by Thomas Hardy. Specifically this paper looks at the way the authors chose to end their novels and what it means about their lives.
From the Paper
"Eliot uses the country town of Middlemarch to illustrate how characters in the countryside live and behave, and how their lifestyle is so different from those who toil in the grimy cities. They are able to walk in the countryside with their dogs, enjoy the fine weather, and ride when they want to, unlike the city dwellers, who often never see the sun, and whose lives end unhappily, as they did in this novel. While Dorothea seemed to deserve a happy conclusion, she was such a strong and powerful character that it seems almost inevitable that she will suffer in the end, and so the ending works for the novel."

"The Cider House Rules" and Other John Irving Novels, 2002.
An analysis of the arguments created by John Irving in his novels "A Prayer for Owen Meany," "The World According to Garp." and "The Cider House Rules."

Abstract
This paper considers how John Irving's novels are challenging, infuriating and fascinating by examining three of them, particularly "The Cider House Rules," but also "A Prayer for Owen Meany" and "The World According to Garp." It shows how each of the major themes in each of the books leads to one or more particular argument that the author is endeavoring to make. It discusses how the themes range from activism to abortion to religion to love and how John Irving uses epic novels spanning lifetimes to bring these themes for the forefront of the reader?s consciousness.
From the Paper
"The Cider House Rules is a complex study of love, duty, and life. John Irving?s strong beliefs shine through every facet of the novel. The story and characters are so multi-faceted and the narrative so sweeping, that every argument is impossible to fully exhaust in one paper. However, the main themes permeate the entire work. Abortion, love, duty, and life experience envelope the lives of both Homer Wells and Dr. Larch. The author attempts and largely succeeds in imparting the importance of these values to the audience."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the theme of freedom found in novels by Amy Tan and, particularly, in her novel "The Joy Luck Club". The paper shows that, while all of Tan's novels emphasize this theme, "The Joy Luck Club", in particular, underscores how important individual freedom is even when it seems to come in conflict with one's duty to family.
From the Paper
"In her novel, The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan stresses the importance of individual freedom more than duty to family in several stories. In "The Joy Luck Club," "The Red Candle," "Magpies," "Without Wood," and "Rice Husband," Tan emphasizes the importance of individual freedom in any culture. The women in these stories overcome difficult obstacles and emerge self-confident and proud. This is not to say that their struggles were easy. In fact, many of the women must face difficult situations with their mothers, which sometimes leads to conflict. Within these conflicts, we see how these problems can be solved through communication and understanding. While balance between duty to family and individual freedom can be difficult to find, the strong female characters in The Joy Luck Club prove that it is always are worthwhile venture."
